Why This Recipe is Healthy
This vintage cake recipe offers several nutritional benefits compared to traditional heavy cakes. The yogurt provides probiotics that support digestive health and adds protein and calcium for bone strength. Using yogurt also reduces the need for excessive butter while maintaining moisture and tenderness.
The recipe contains eggs, which supply high-quality protein and essential nutrients like choline for brain health. The moderate use of oil provides healthy fats, while the strawberry jam adds natural fruit flavors and antioxidants. This cake is lighter than many traditional recipes due to the yogurt content, making it a more balanced treat that won’t leave you feeling overly heavy after enjoying a slice.
